Seeking help
So I really want to tell my close friend that I struggle with depression. She has it as well but I dont think Ive given any indication that I have it. I have a really weird relationship with friends its hard to explain but in all honesty I dont associate with them outside of school and I know other people are not this way so its hard for me to tell if they consider me a friend because basically this whole summer I have been isolating myself and it sounds really sad now that I think about it but I dont know if Im doing this because of my anxiety or I dont have anyone to hang out with.
I am going into 11th grade soon and this is when everyone has adventures with their friends but Im scared I wont be able to do this and that when the time comes around of me being an adult I wont know how to do it and I dont want to do it alone. Any suggestions about how to tell someone you struggle with depression? I have not told my family yet but I think the best thing is for me to tell my friend first.
@Fran02 Personally? I did something similar with my best friend while we were in highschool, i sat down with her and talked to her about her problems, and while we were talking about her problems, I'd weave in some of my own and honestly i just came to a point where i mentioned it and she agreed with me. I know highschool is rough, and it is the time where it seems everyone out there is making their own adventures and dreams and all that stuff- just remember that you can make your own adventures as well whenever your comfortable, it doesn't have to be when you're in highschool or even college.
